If there is a super-food that is rich in fiber, packed with nutrients and has the properties of live food (Prana for Vitality), it is none other than Microgreens. And if it is organically grown at home, what more do you need for a daily boost to your health?
Curious to know how you can get started on growing your own microgreens at home without much hassle? After the highly successful first four batches of the workshop, Nutritionist Mrs. Sonal Shet is bringing the fourth batch showcasing easy methods of growing microgreens at home. Join ‘Grow Microgreens (Batch 5): Hydroponically & On Cocopeat’.
What are Microgreens?
Microgreens are live, functional food, as they contain a wide range of vital nutrients ( eg vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and enzymes) Just by eating a handful of Red cabbage microgreens gives up to 40 times more vitamin E than its mature ones. Microgreens are excellent sources of high-quality protein and are easy to digest. They are live multivitamin tablets available in nature.
At first glance, microgreens look like sprouts but they are the seedlings of various vegetables that are harvested at an early growth stage. Microgreens are a superfood rich in macro and
micronutrients. Even a handful of microgreens are enough to energize your salads and wraps.
Why grow microgreens at home?
Microgreens can be grown organically in your own small place. This will not only save money but also teach you to grow plants at a small-scale in an urban setting.
Microgreens are rich in vitamins and minerals that we can consume fresh, instead of popping vitamin supplements. Hence growing them by yourselves is ideal.
They are live foods. When you eat live and fresh- the Prana or energy of the food is high, which energizes your meal to a great extent.
The time and effort spent on the growing process also makes you mindful and involved.
Involving kids in this process can encourage them to eat greens
“It is not easy for everyone to use soil for growing microgreens. That’s why in this edition of the workshop, we will grow microgreens hydroponically as well, i.e., on water. This will allow us to grow microgreens hygienically with no soil mess.”
What are the health benefits of microgreens?
They are densely packed with vitamins and minerals. Hence, when added to any kind of food they increase its nutritional value:
Reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases - rich in fiber and vitamin K, microgreens reduce blood pressure and increase heart health
Reduce the risk of cancer - As per a research published in the journal Future of Oncology, sulforaphane, a compound found in broccoli microgreens, has the potential to target cancer stem cells.
Boost gut health - the fiber present in microgreens improves the digestive system
Boost immunity - better gut health means healthier microbiota in your body, which directly impacts immunity
